17 '0 all whom it may canes m Be it known ilmil, RAYMOND B. ons MAN, a citizen of tin: Unit-ed Stains, residing at Okcmnln in the county 01" ()kfuskee and State of Oklahoma, have invented certain new and useful lmpmvemcnts in Carlmreting Appnralus, of which ilic following is a specification.

This invention comprehends certain new and useful l1}!PIO'VRR'HCIilS in apparatus or systems for cm-lmretisn for internal ("()l'nl llS-- Lion engines, pi'c'fewln type, and the ii'ivenfion has fci its primary object a simple and zzili risni' bcnsirnction if uppin'atns of this character which will. be automatic in its action in keeping the pressure m'iifcrm, which will be easy in consiruct and assemble, and which will lie dnliable andw not liable to get out; of 011161. And the inventicn also aims togenemlly improve this class of devices and to render them ninre useful and cm'nmeroially desirable.

Willi these. and other objects in view as will mme fully appear as the description proceeds the ii" mien consisis in certain enients andv combin cons initinns. a1: lLlOPS of the parts mm 1 shall hereinsfter fully describe and claim.

For a full understanding a! the invention, reference is to be had to the following description and accompanying drawings, in which the figure "is a, side elevation of my improved carbureting apparatus, parts be ing shown in section.

Cartesponding and like parts are referred to in the following description and indicated in all the views of the drawings by the same reference characters.

Referring to the drawing, the numeral 1 designates a casing which iris cf any desired type, nnnstrnctinn and dnsign, and 2 designates an inspirator or spray nozzle which is secured to the casing and int; which asupply pipe 8 extends said pipe being connected to any suitable source of supply for the gasolane, the spray nozzle being controlled. or regulated by a needle valve 2".

4 designates the air inlet which is formed in the casing 1, said air inlet being controlled or regulated by any desired form of shutter or other closure, whereby in con motion with the needle valve- 2 cf the inspimtor ndzzle, the supply of air and gasolens may be easily regulated and kept at the of the inn-cycle desired prnportiim. casing l. coniains a fan blower Wlili anv desired number of blades, said ism iilevvci' lieing mounted upon a shaft (5 which has hearings in the casing 1 and also in n pest or standard 7. A pinwn 8, preferably formed of fiber, is splined on the shaft 6 and friciionally engages a drive disk 9 which-is preferably formed of steel, ills disk and pininn l ing set at right anto each olh er as shown, and the disk bewed in one and 05 an actuating shaft lv ifi 'ii'il in any desired. way, I being cnnnecied thrcngh any -ie crankshaft of the preiern h suitable gearing, in engine which 1 I in 0'1 sppzimtns, vnevvliy animating shaft 1% is meinlnmed at Lam,propcrt-ionate to the spend. 01. the engine and crank shaft.
